Review for Exam #3

General:
     The exam will be a mixture of objective (e.g., multiple choice, definition, fill-in-blank) and subjective (short answer) questions.  You may use pencil or pen to complete your exam, though I strongly recommend pencil.  The exam is designed to last one hour.  In general, the exam could include:  (1) anything covered in class; (2) lecture notes on line; (3) pertinent chapter/sections in the text and (3) study sheets, articles, handouts or other materials used/assigned in class.  I try to ask an equal number of questions about each class.  The following is a summary of the main topics that are "fair game" for the exam. 

Seeds

• Capon - Chapter 1
• Web notes (including Beer Making)
• Powerpoint in public folder
• Seed questions
• Seed packet analysis

Vegetative Structures

• Veggie - online notes; study guide
• Wood - online notes; study guide
• Lindbergh ladder article (posted in public folder)
• Plant pigments and fall colors (discussed in class, see link for more info)

Reproduction

• Capon - Chapter 9 and pp 201-209
• online notes
• study guide
• Gink & Go and the Botanical Birds and Bees
• Good videos are available in the library if you want more information (Private Lives of Plants, Vol 1 (dispersal) and Vol 3 (pollination mechanisms)

Plants/Country Day - as always.  Countries cumulative; plants from Nov 3.  Don't forget any related ideas that we discussed in class.
